Biodiversity and Eco Services
Councillors from Kirklees Council and Denby Dale Parish Council recently visited Yorkshire Water’s Clayton West wastewater treatment site in West Yorkshire to see progress on a £14 million nature-based wetland solution.
Scottish Water has planted thousands of native trees on land at two South Lanarkshire sites, helping to boost biodiversity and lock up carbon.
Natural England is returning to the waters of the Fal and Helford rivers next week to carry out a new dive survey of the region’s kelp forests to check on their health and the area they cover.
The system for assessing the health of England’s rivers states just 14% are in good ecological health but an independent report for Defra says this masks improvements in freshwater biodiversity – and has proposed an alternative monitoring standard.
A new report by the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands, the Global Wetland Outlook 2025: Valuing, conserving, restoring and financing wetlands (GWO 2025), warns that without urgent action, one fifth of the world’s remaining wetlands could vanish by 2050.
